Spring Break 2018

It was Spring Break here last week,
and we had lots of fun relaxing and spending time together!

We stayed at the Ramada for a couple of nights…

The hot tubs in the pool area were broken while we were there,
so the kids made good use of the jacuzzi tub in our room! :)

We also had a great time at Air Madness trampoline park!

We tried out an Escape Room for the first time ever and it was quite an adventure!
We figured out all the puns in Rapunzel’s Cottage with time to spare. :)

Although it was spring break, we got enough snow one night for Mary & Jenna to build a big snowman. Less than a week later, he’s completely melted! (Much to Mary’s dismay! ;)

And last but not least, date night for Mom & Dad!
Whew, what a week! So thankful for the time we could spend together and lots of great memories made! :)
